The King

At the Brazilian Grand Prix in Formula 1 yesterday, Briton George Russell, who drives for Mercedes, won. As was pointed out by the Formula 1 web page, this was the first time God Save the King has been played for a winning driver or constructor at a World Championship Formula 1 event. All the previous times there have been a British winner, God Save the Queen was played. This is because Elizabeth II reigned for so many years and the first British victory came in 1953, the year after she became Queen. It sure gives a perspective on her long reign and long time Welsh Corgi breeding.
